Gulf Air

Speedbrake you are living on a different planet mate, but I do see your point that Gulf Traveller might survive by becoming the McDonalds of Gulf airlines.
While Qatar announce a major aircraft acquisition, Emirates a huge one, Gulf Air might do what - rent another Airbus for a while?

I think Mr. Hogan and his aussie chums will walk out of GF in a year or two with a big wad of cash patting themselves on the back, leaving a lean, mean, fighting machine capable of competing with Bangladesh Biman on the Kish-Dacca route.

But I suppose the alternative, of a bloated, overstaffed boys club with the coffers regularly filled from the UAE and regularly emptied by its caretakers is not such a brilliant alternative.


Shame really.
